One possible solution method for the machine-to-job assignment problem is the following heuristic procedure. Assign the machine to job 1 that completes job 1 quickest. Then assign the machine to job 2 that, among all machines that still have some capacity, completes job 2 quickest. Keep going until a machine has been assigned to all jobs. Does this heuristic procedure yield the optimal solution for this problem? If it does, see whether you can change the job times so that the heuristic does not yield the optimal solution.
